Mele e Pere in City of London, Westminster

My daughter, husband and I, came on 31st October for the pre-theatre lunch and it was fabulous! Excellent service and attentive staff. The restaurant was spotlessly clean. Excellent value for money. We don't visit London that often but would recommend to anyone and we will definitely return.

Honestly you pay too much for what you eat ! Watery and untested pasta dishes, not recommended you waste your money! Overcrowded and unpleasant stay!

This has been on my list for a few years now and never got to dine here until August 2024. Unfortunately it was disappointing - ordered the steak medium-well which came out rare and couldn't eat it but they didn't charge us. The other meals were ok. Wouldn't rush back.

The food overall was average. I chose the two-course menu, but the bruschetta was poorly prepared, and the pasta wasn’t cooked in the authentic Italian style. It felt more like an American take on Italian cuisine.

Went back to Mele e Pere after a few months and we were absolutely delighted with the experience. The service was impeccable and the food was everything and more that we hoped for. We will definitely go back again when we are in the area. Thanks for a great evening.

I have to echo the sentiments that this is one of the best Italian restaurants in London. Amazing food, exquisite vermouths and very good value for money in a cozy and stylish atmosphere. Service was also top notch. We highly recommend this lovely spot!

Great spot and not too expensive

Excellent food, very nice place, friendly staff.

Really good value..lovely meal and drinks and service was very good. All staff were friendly and friendly

Mele e Pere is a true gem, tucked away on a corner of Brewer Street in Soho. The restaurant has an unassuming exterior, but don’t let that fool you – inside is a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere with fantastic food to match. The menu offers well-priced dishes that are packed with flavour and served in generous portions. The wine list is impressive, with a great range of choices, and the lively bar adds to the overall charm of the place. The staff strike the perfect balance – attentive without being intrusive, making you feel well looked after throughout your visit. A must-visit for anyone in the area!

The pre-theatre is a fantastic bargain - especially if you book online and get a glass of bubbles included! However, the service was slow given how busy the place was - it took 40 mins to prep our main. They did offer a discount to compensate for this which is nice. Very convenient to see Moulin Rouge after!

Gorgeous fresh pasta, we had the Carbonara & Bolognaise - would definitely come back next time we are in London! So affordable too

Food was fantastic. Very generous with the truffle on the ragu and my partner had the fettuccine and really enjoy it too. The focaccia was phenomenal will definitely be back 😊

Had dinner here and absolutely loved it! The truffle papardelle with duck ragu was incredibly delicious as was the tiramisu! I’ll dream of the pasta!

Pre theatre meal with my daughter, good food but poor service. Took about 20 mins to get bread, then they seemed to lose our main course order.

Great staff and excellent atmosphere. Food was absolutely delicious.

Great theatre menu deal. Good choices and quality.

Terrific delicious lovely independent Italian restaurant. Thank you for ensuring we had time to get to the theatre and enjoy our meal .

We stopped for drinks. Unusually empty for a Saturday night as it is off the beaten track between Piccadilly Circus and Carnaby Street so you can find space of it's just two of you. Mele and Aperitivo Spritz is good, and the focaccia we ordered as accompaniment was delicious. Front of House was caring and professional.

We went there for lunch and had pasta, pizza and steak. We liked it. Untypical for an Italian restaurant was the missing bread to come with the starter - so could be improved especially for the burrata. The steak and fries very a bit salty and the pizza to much cheese. Nevertheless we would come again to have a neapolitan pizza or some pasta.

This is a little gem. Ideal for the various theatres nearby. It's a very typical Italian bar/restaurant. We had lunch prior to going to the theatre. Very good welcome. Small set menu but very good value and superbly presented and utterly delicious. Good italian wine/ beer and soft drinks. Good service and friendly staff. It's well worth seeking out and going to. Large eating area downstairs. Clean modern toilets downstairs. Loved it and would go back again without any hesitation.

Tastless food. Had a 3 corse meal and everything was tasteless and mediocre. For the price you expect more! They have an amazing establishment so it’s a shame that the food is pretty bad

We had a wonderful lunch here - the pre-theatre menu is exceptional value. Staff are friendly and attentive and service was great. The pre-theatre menu has a good variety of options and we were surprised at how generous the portions were. Everything was delicious - save some room for dessert so you can enjoy the tiramisu. Although it wasn't busy when we visited, the restaurant has a relaxed vibe and the ambience is just delightful. Would definitely go back next time I'm in town.

We had not booked, but they accommodate us on a Saturday Night. The downstairs atmosphere wa so nice. So we had started with a positive experience that ended up being one of the nicest experiences. The service was A class. Our hostess was super efficient and quick nothing was too much trouble for her. The food was outstanding. I prefer menus that half a dozen choices per item, which I believe the attention to detail should be better. I was not wrong in my assumptions. Absolutely fresh and tasty. Worth every penny

Went for set lunch, very tasty food, great service and very nice atmosphere. Will certainly try to go back

Came here as a solo diner whilst on a work trip. They obliged me by doing an off menu garlic pizza bread (thank you!) and generally I had a pleasant experience as a solo diner. The pasta was very salty is my only critique.

Delicious Italian food, friendly waiting staff, having visited on two separate trips I can highly recommend and will continue to go whenever I'm in the area, great coffee too.

Amazing food and very clean establishment. Service was great. Would highly recommend!

The meat arrived ice cold, and there is a "pp" sign next to some prices. It means per person, so multiply the price by 2.

I just wanted a light evening meal and so I went for a side of olives and the prosciutto pizza. The prosciutto portion on the pizza was exactly the right amount and covered the pizza, and the combination of flavours made this dish very delicious. As regards the die order of olives, it would have been preferable if they were larger and pitted. The servers were excellent and very attentive.

The food was great and the service was excellent. The drinks were good.

We had an amazing night here. Very tasty and fresh food and good drinks. On top we experienced a very italianish atmosphere and a on top service. Very recommended if you hit soho.

Good food, awkward service but maybe because there were no other guests at the time we went

Arrived without booking on a Saturday lunch time, but warmly welcomed and seated. The waitress was very engaging and knowledgeable about wines and recommended great cocktails. Food was great, pizzas were large so unfortunately no room for desert. Will definitely return.

Get transponded to Italy 🇮🇹 and enjoy a cup of wine and some pasta before a show. Great flavor and fair serving.

We had the 3 Course Theatre Menu, absolutely outstanding and great value for money. Meatballs were very tasty as was the Salami and fried bread, and plentiful too. My wife had the bolognese for the main, it was very good quality, I had the steak, it was so tender, cooked to perfection and had a pesto and sweet sauce drizzled over it, it was absolutely delicious. We finished with Affogato and Tiramisu, all for £22.50 each. Service was spot on, will definitely be going back when we next go to the theatre.

I had the £17 two course set menu lunch which tasted great and was good value for central London. The bruschetta starter was fresh and the tagliatelle with bolognaise ragu was particularly good. Service friendly and prompt. Recommend.

Unfortunately, our experience was not great. We ordered two starters, calamari and meatballs. The meatballs were defiantly defrosted and heated. When cut they were cold in the middle, swimming in a bowl of warm ish tomato sauce. The pizza I had for my main had the base burnt, the sour burnt taste made it inedible. Surely it’s unusual for 70% of a meal to be left, it came across that this was normal for the member of staff. An expensive (mistake) experience!

Delicious prawns on my squid ink pasta. Super fresh !

Good bar for Vermouth. Would recommend going downstairs to the copper bar if only going for a drink. Impressive selections of vermouth, can get a bit patchy with service if busy.

I went to have a treat in London here. I ordered papardelle with duck and truffle ragout. It was quite good, but I think the punch of flavor to the ragout was missing. The waiters are attentive but I think they lack a bit of professionalism for the level of the restaurant. The place is very lively, the decoration is beautiful and there is a good atmosphere if you want to eat well and have a few drinks at night.

Went for drinks at mele e pere which has London's largest collection of vermouth wines. Bartender Rob was very friendly, knowledgeable and super accommodationg- major props to him!

Had a lovely lunch. Fixed price lunch menu was well worth it. Pizzas were fabulous and portions plentiful which we couldn't finish. Service was excellent too. Would recommend and will return.

We went with our friend who's visiting, we came with two kids, 7 and 12. Mele e Pere was so good to us. The team was patient and kind with our entire meal. Dinner was also delicious, and love the ambience. We love Italian and this is one we would come back. Thank you Mele e Pere!

A small and very cozy restaurant with a lovely Italian vibe. The food was superb, at least the Pizza Diavola and Spaghetti Bolognese. Superb waiter with dark hair and white shirt with flowers on it (don't remember the name). Simple 10/10!

We came to this restaurant on behalf on virgin experiences. This restaurant was brilliant!! Outstanding service from all staff and the food was fantastic! Will definitely be returning. I would like to say a thank also to our Waitress Aurora you were brilliant! :)

Wonderful experience, excellent service by Aurora.

Thanks to Aurora for its pleasant welcome and the quality of its service

Would 100% recommend for gf or anyone! Great atmosphere, very authentic, and amazing service from the team but particularly our server Aurora - thank you!

We were there spontaneously and got a table for two. The waitress Aurora was very nice and accommodating. The food was very tasty. We would come back if it weren't so far away 😉

Great food and service! Aurora made our stay magical. It was my birthday dinner so super happy 😃

Lovely Italian restaurant with a beautiful interior. Dishes were well seasoned.

Aurora and Nicola took care of my wife and I. They are very attentive and gracious . I rec-omend this restaurant highly. It is perfect for pre-theater dinner !

Excellent restaurant to eat Italian cuisine in London, Aurora was our waitress and she was fantastic and helpful to our needs. Recommended restaurant

The food was incredibly delicious (I had the squid ink pasta) — I didn’t even think to take photos because it all looked and smelled too good! Aurora was an attentive server too and made sure everything arrived timely. We’ll be back!

Lovely Italian fresh delicious food top rate service very friendly and accommodating.

Really lovely decor and atmosphere in the basement, lovely wine and great service from Arvil - thanks.

Excellent Italian restaurant in London in the Soho area. Average London prices but good food (for Italians). Super friendly staff, served by Aruil, very kind and professional! Super recommended for a dinner or a drink.

Really good service! Served by Aruil very nice! Highly recommend!

We had a lovely meal in this Italian restaurant. On the ground floor there is a small seating area but downstairs there is a large dining area and a bar. The food was excellent, we had starters, mains and a drink. The cost was £35 per head which included a pre added service charge (12.5%). One of our party had pizza, it was quite large. The service was very good and although it was quite busy the wait for food was not long. A good place to visit with prices that are very reasonable for the area and high quality food.

Vitello Tonato is 10/10. Great location and fun place

This place is heaven. I’m obsessed. I’ve been recommending it to anybody who will listen to me. Their chips are perfection and they have great gluten free options. 🙌🏼

Delicious pasta, very affordable prices especially for the center, ground floor room with an intimate atmosphere. I highly recommend !

Excellent food and service. Arvil was great!

Had a lovely dining experience, food was great and Arvil our server, looked after us!

To be honest it’s very nice place and very chill. Stuff very friendly absolutely Matteo it’s was amazing bartender. Really I enjoyed with his cocktail . And looking forward to come back .

Lovely intimate Italian bistro/restaurante in heart of Soho

A surprise find while in UK Quiet delicious lunch with professional cordial service.

Excellent meal as always. Always a great atmosphere. Avril, our waiter was excellent. Will be back definitely.

Only popped in for a drink on the way to the tube after a visit to the theatre. Will return and eat next time

What a lovely find today , would deff recommend

If i could give this zero stars, I would. Sat down at a table of 4 and took the wait staff 25 minutes to come over to take a drinks order, in fact we had to wave to get their attention, when we waved the waitress just waved back and smiled (felt quit sarcastic) then a few minutes later they came over. Food was okay, pasta carbonara looked good but the pizza was just very cheesy. I ordered the Pork Chop and Brocoli but when all the meals came out they had forgotten to cook the pork chop so (after trying to get the staff's attention for 5 mins) I waited for them to cook my meal, only to recieve a very dry and rushed pork chop. The waiter asked if he could do anything and so we asked for 2 more Aperol spritz, but these arrived after we had finished main course (about another 25 min wait). I also wrongly assumed this would be deducted from the bill - no no, it was there in full! Overall, terrible service, average food, quite overpriced.

Great, relaxed venue in the centre of London

Great food, fresh pasta. George was very friendly.

Food and service was outstanding. Fabulous presentation and authenticity's, particularly all the hand made pasta dishes and tiramisu . Ciao!

Fantastic service by Aurora, fabulous quality food and really relaxing

Arvil looked after our large group for a friends hen day, the food was great and the drinks. Staff were lovely, thank you so much !
